Not allowed yet to take bai’ah

Question:

Assalamu alaikum ya Sultanul Awliya Syeikh Nazhim and Mawlana Syeikh Hisham.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

I have question. 3 days ago I was asking to my father to take bai’at. But my father not allowed me yet to take bai’ah. My father said that I have to wait until my age is enough. Now I’m 24 years old. Based on that, I cancel to take bai’ah at this time.

What do you think about this, what should I do?

Thank you very much.

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

According to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim you are old enough so it is up to you.

al insaan al kamil

Dream:

Salaam 3alaykum,

Please note I am not a mureed of Shaykh Nazim but have been taught a lot of things by a mureed of Shaykh Nazim’s (uloom al baatin) from a young age.

I dreamt I was in a room, sitting on the floor with 1 or 2 other people and Shaykh Nazim. There was a young man sitting there facing the Shaykh (who’s at the front of the room) but has his head turned toward me and he tells me of some things that happened to him. (I think in Canada, on his way to the Shaykh’s place). And then he presses his thumb against my groin (which hurt) to demonstrate what the people did to him. Then he leaves and all I remember is looking into the Shaykh’s eyes (they are a vivid blue). And then he hands me a small piece of paper and it has something written on it in Arabic. I read it and it says something along the lines of ‘You are not a better kamil than the old generation but you are the greatest (or better) kamil of the younger generation’. I think that whilst I was reading the paper, I was thinking it was implying my knowledge at that particular time and older generation was implying the elders who were still alive.

I assume kamil here means insaan al kamil. Can you go into detail about it?

Interpretation:

a`udhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem

Wa `alaykum salaam wa rahmatullah

Al-Insan al-Kamil‘ with alif lam before it ‘al‘ is The Insan al Kamil that the awliya understand is none other than Prophet Muhammad (saws) The Perfected human being as a Prophet before Adam (as) and the Seal of Messengers.  As a hadith relates “I was a Prophet and Adam was between Water and Clay.”

Insaan al-Kamil without the alif lam refers to the Perfected Human Being of his time.  The Perfected Shaykh who represents the Prophet in his respective generation. Each generation has such a wali, and it is believed that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is that one of this age. Mawlana Shaykh Hisham has manuscripts translated from Mawlana
Shaykh Daghestani about the stations and roles of these awliya.  He (qs) has been entrusted with that and has the ability to describe these realities.  For you to look at Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and receiving the described paper, InshaAllah you are under his guidance that will lead you to your own station of perfection.

W ‘Allahu `alam

A strong-spiritual-authority-physically present in Sham needed to guide brother

Question:

786 SALAAM

German-convert living in Dimashq agreed to marry divorcee. Our concern is, she has strong support and is in her homeland-he doesn’t have hand to guide him or a Shaykh to offer protection. Is there a representative of Moulana physically present in Dimashq to be at his side in his journey too and in marriage? We are afraid that the family and girl could take advantage of his precaroius state/position in a foreign country all alone.We thought of Shaykh AbduSalam Shami because we saw S.MHKabbani praise him, but he´s permi in Jordan.Who else will have patience to deal w/someone who doesn’t know how to ´walk´at all. What about influence in their marriage from her family? They might be concerned that he´s too extreme (because of not wanting T.V-when really he´s simple; follows old ways) and they might have such a strong Syrian Islam. Who can he contact for work and housing in secure Sufi environment.Please give opening. Madad

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,
Any German murid in Damascus needs to stay in touch with Shaykh Abd al-Hafidh Wentzel. He lives near the Maqam and he also does not own a TV.

Dream: Funerals

Dream:

Asalaamulaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu

While I was pregnant with my last child I had a dream.  I was standing in the doorway of an open door.  There were cards on the floor and I was picking them up.  I remember seeing one of my older children playing and another child who was mine but who I had not seen before. This child hugged me and said, “I love you Mummy”. Then I looked up and saw 4 herses carrying coffins. I sent my salaams to each one as they went by. As the last one went by, I noticed there was a lion inside the herse next to the coffin.  And then I was somewhere else in another room with my grandma who had passed away 3 years previously. She was smiling and then she said to me that she would see me soon. Then I awoke.

Interpretation:

Alaykum as-Salam,
This is a good dream that points to spiritual progress. The four coffins to which you give salam represent your parting with your four enemies, hawa, dunya, nafs, and Shaytan, and this is confirmed by the lion which in dream represents the destruction of enemies and the relief of good people. Children and grandmother point to the encompassment of your life with this protection, and Allah knows best.

Dream: Babies with my Love Interest

Dream:

Asalam alaiykum. Hope you are all in the best of health. Just a quick question.

Recently I have had 2 dreams and in both dreams it is only me and the guy I want to marry, God Willing.

The first dream me and the man I want to marry were both holding a baby girl in our arms both together and we both looked very happy.

In the second dream I was pregnant and the man I want to marry had his hand on my stomach and was very happy.

Could you please let me know what these dreams meant please?

Jazakhalla

Interpretation:

`Alaykum as-Salam,
These are good dreams indicating rizq, protection, honor and happiness, and Allah knows best.

Dream: Flowers/gift

Dream:

Salam

I had a dream that my sister-in-law (husband’s sister) sent me a bouquet of flowers, the bouquet was big and had different type of flowers but I remember seeing pink roses. When I received the bouquet there was a note with it saying they are from my sister-in-law (the note just had her name). However I was confused why she had sent it for what occassion but I was happy at the same time.

Jazakallah

Interpretation:

`Alaykum as-Salam,
In dreams gifts stand for happiness and love, and flowers stand for pleasure and goodness. Your in-law is praying for you to have all these so you also should make du`a for the same for her.
